Cousin Anthony and I: Some Views of Ours about Divers Matters and Various Aspects of Life (Classic Reprint)

Edward Sandford Martin

0/5 ( ratings)

Excerpt from Cousin Anthony and I: Some Views of Ours About Divers Matters and Various Aspects of Life

At least that was the view that my cousin Anthony took. He maintained that to confide absolutely in one's wife was indeed good, but to temper candor on occasion with a wise and affectionate reticence was better still. He. By no means advocated deceit or elaborate concealment. He hates a lie as much as anyone, and is as eager as Merlin himself to have vinegar burned when there is a liar to the windward. But mere abstention from inconsiderate admis sions he admired in himself.
